@wilder-w. WELCOME!!! I love her!!!! And oh my goodness, she would get along SOOOO well with Reuben! Now I need to be my insecure and low-self-esteem baby. xD (listen…I love all the Bois…but Reuben has a special place in my heart. XD)
Reuben
There were so many people…so…so many people.
He had a map of the school now, thanks to his brothers…but they had to get to class…and…heh…he was still late.
He was such a mess up.
Such a mistake.
Reuben wasn’t watching where he was going and collided into a dark-haired girl, likely a year or two older than him. The one book still in her hands hit the floor. “I’m so sorry…I’m sorry…” He apologized, bending to grab the book.
He was such a stupid klutz!

@freedomwriter76
Thank you so much!! I love her too…she’s a bit quirky, but she’s easy to fall in love with! Ach, she’s just so awesome!
Hope:
Great. Oh great. Things are so great!
Hope reached down to pull the last book out of her backpack, and then something…or someone, collided into her. Ow! Whoever it was, he was bending down to pick up her book, silently muttering something under his breath.
“I’m so sorry, so sorry.”
“Hey, it’s okay, it’s no prob-”Hope stopped mid-sentence as she gazed into a boy’s eyes. Oh gosh, he’s cute…get a grip, Hope!
Hope pushed a lock of her hair behind her ear, sticking out her hand, “Name’s Hope.”- Rank: Chosen One

@wilder-w. You are sooo welcome! 😀 And she thinks Reuben is cute!? That is sooo sweet and absolutely ADORABLE!!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!! And now that I’m thinking about it, they’d be so cute together! xD
Reuben
“Name’s Hope.”
Reuben stood, the girl’s book in hand. He smiled shyly and shook her offered hand. “I…I’m Reuben. Oh…heh…here’s your book.” He said softly, holding out her book.
“Thanks.” She said, brushing another strand of hair behind her ears.
Hmm…must be something she did.
Like how Reuben got lost in books, wrote stories and poetry, and painted.
Reuben smiled awkwardly. “Hey…uhm…I have this map that my brothers gave me…but…heh…I’m still lost…can you read this better than I can…?”

@freedomwriter76 Oh my word, yes! They’d be so adorable together!
Hope:
Hope struggled to pay attention as Reuben talked to her. Her mind legit felt like jello. She wasn’t used to the heat in her chest.
“Ummm…sure, I can help…I think. I’m sorry…I uh..” Hope shuddered. You idiot, get a grip. Just because he’s handsome doesn’t mean you should flirt with him.
Still….
She brushed another strand of her hair back, steeling her emotions, “what class are you in?”- Rank: Chosen One

@wilder-w. IKR!? 😀
Reuben
“What class are you in?”
Reuben smiled shyly. “Uhm…well…I’m in 9th…and…heh…I’m supposed to get to History class…but…uhm…I’m…lost…really lost…” He laughed nervously.
Heh…he wasn’t the best at talking to people.
He was the quiet brother…always lost in a book. Always lost in daydreams.
And apparently, lost in school too!
Oh…he was such a mess up.
“I’m sorry…you’re probably new too…I really shouldn’t bother you…”

@freedomwriter76 I don’t know what that means lol…sorry…
Hope:
“I’m sorry…you’re probably new too…I shouldn’t be bothering you..”
Hope shrugged, “it’s not a big deal. History is my first class as well.”
Rueben seemed perturbed by that fact, “oh…I mean, that’s great…uh, you want to, umm, head that way then? We’re probably late…”
Hope watched his behavior and just smiled. He seems…jumpy. Better go a bit easy on him. “Yeah, we better get going…and on our way, we might as well share a bit about ourselves…”
“About me?” Rueben squeaked.
“Yeah,” Hope grinned. “You see like a cool kid…I mean…in a good way…” Hope stuttered. Wow…back to emotional self…

@wilder-w. You’re fine! I didn’t either for the longest time, lol. XD It means “I know, right!?” 🙂 And oh, I’m loving Hope more and more. xD
Reuben
“You seem like a cool kid…I mean…in a good way…”
“Uhm…oh…okay then…heh.” He offered her an awkward smile. But at least it was a smile.
Oh, who was he kidding!?
He was so awkward and weird!
They began walking, and Hope turned to him. “So…?”
“Uhm…well, first off, I have a big family. Four brothers…two stepbrothers, two sisters…they all come here too…heh.”
He rubbed the back of his neck as his smile remained awkward.
Oh, why couldn’t he be normal for once!?

@freedomwriter76 Oh…wow. Can not believe I didn’t get that. Yeah, Hope’s one of my favorite characters. I really love her! She has such a good personality, and insecurities. Oh, btw, what is Rueben like? Please, refresh me on his background so I can make this the most awkward romance ever!
Hope:
“Uhm…well, first off, I have a big family. Four brothers…two stepbrothers, two sisters…they all come here too…heh.”
Hope walked on, hands in her pockets. “That’s pretty cool…I don’t have family of my own, uh, not anymore…yeah.” Way to make this weird. “Umm…I like painting. And…uh, I’m an avid reader. I like fantasy stuff. Yeah.”

@wilder-w. She is just wonderful! 😀
Okay, so Reuben is quiet, reserved, and keeps to himself, but he has EXTREMLY low self-esteem and insecurities, but, surprisingly, can be pretty reckless! xD But he is the sweetest little cupcake you could ever meet! He also loves to draw, paint, write, and is a TOTAL bookworm! His favorite subjects are English and Art, obviously. And his childhood background…? Well…heh…it was abusive and traumatic. He has PTSD that’s triggered by yelling, screaming, the smell of alcohol, and tight spaces. Oh, and he’s absolutely TERRIFIED of the dark, and it also triggers his PTSD…heh.
Reuben
“Umm…I like painting. And…uh, I’m an avid reader. I like fantasy stuff. Yeah.”
“Really!? I like painting too…and drawing…and writing…and reading…” Reuben replied softly, rubbing the back of his neck again.
He glanced at his fingernails, which were flecked with paint…as were his arms…and his hands…heh…he always got a little messy with the paint.

@freedomwriter76 ah gotcha….you know, Hope is sooooo similar! She is triggered by loud noises as well, and alcohol…she was abused by her dad which is why she is so to herself.
“Wow…really…I love painting,” Hope smiled, her heart beating faster. “Watercolor is my favorite. But acrylic is a close second. It kinda started when…” Hope’s thoughts when to her biological father. Fear strained in her voice. Suddenly she was alone. By herself. Trapped in a corner. Rueben was saying something beside her, but his voice was muffled. She gripped her forehead, blackness swirling, come on, come on. Get out, please…
@freedomwriter76 @wilder-w AHHH REUBEN AND HOPE FOREVER!! *runs around fangirl screaming XD*
Paxton
He blinked, staring at the brown-haired boy next to him, and the purple-haired girl next to him. She waved.
“Hiya!”
Paxton looked as his desk, not answering. Could…could he speak? Or…or would he get in trouble?
He fingered the collar of his sleeve, still shaking slightly. Wolfgang tilted his head.
“Hey, it’s alright to be shy. My brother Reuben is pretty quiet too.”
Paxton glanced up. This boy had brothers too?
“Those were your brothers right?” The girl, Luna, asked. “I don’t have any siblings, though I’ve always wanted one.”
You wouldn’t want mine, Paxton thought.
“Look, he obviously doesn’t want to talk. Would ya hush up?” The boy on the other side of Luna hissed, silencing them. Two large fox-like ears stuck out from both sides of his head, and Paxton gasped at his bright, multi-colored eyes.
The boy scowled slightly, returning his gaze forward.
The teacher began speaking, but Paxton was only half listening, mind elsewhere.
He couldn’t help but keep glancing over at the three students next to him, nervousness bubbling in his chest.
Should he?
No…
If he did…he’d just get in trouble…
His voice only ever brought trouble…
Besides, the teacher was talking now…he needed to be quiet.
Suddenly, Wolfgang leaned over, eyes wide, a small smile on his face. Paxton shrunk into his seat, unsure of what the boy was going to do.
“It’s Paxton…isn’t it. Your name? I remembered the teacher called you that.”
Paxton glanced at the woman, still speaking. She hadn’t noticed Wolfgang’s whispering. Slowly, Paxton turned back to face him, noticing Luna was looking at him too, and even Fox boy’s eyes were glancing his direction.
A slight smile sprouted on the little boy’s lips.
He nodded.
Aramis
It had taken only a few minutes for the news to reach Aramis.
He already had a name.
Ezra.
Hum…
Aramis stood against one of the lockers, glancing at students that passed by, winking at a few of the prettier girls.
Whoever this…Ezra kid was, had taken to beating on Adolphus and Dietrich…
And…well…that just couldn’t slide…could it?
A young boy walked past, only a year younger then Aramis, with oily black hair. Aramis gripped his shoulder, making the boy tense.
“Ar-Aramis!”
“Got a message for ya.”
“Y-Yea. Alright…”
“Let Edric know I got a name. Get some of the boys together, and we’ll…meet around back. Have a bit of a…study group.”
The boy swallowed, nodding. “I’ll tell him.”
“Make sure you do.” He released him. The boy quickly shuffled away, leaving Aramis to chuckle to himself.
Grimm
Erich and Ellie had left, rushing off to class. “Ah, you scared them off, Lynnie.”
She laughed.
~~~ (this is time passing XD)
Class was…alright, though It would’ve been more productive, had some of the students not decided to start secretly passing notes along to each other…
And of course…Lyn had wanted to help and join in…
Grimm sighed, shaking his head as they exited English.
“Really?”
“I couldn’t just sit by! Jennie was trying to tell Layla that Missy told Mila that-“
“Forget I asked.” Lyn laughed as she wrapped her arm around his.
“Come on, we need to go find Nyx!”
“Mm, before the kit gets into any trouble…”
“Oh, come on Grimm…he won’t.”
“This is the same Nyx we’re talking about right?”
She smiled.
(hey maybe they can run into Leon Ezra and them.)

@godlyfantasy12. HE HAS HOPE!? SOOO CUTE!!!! @godlyfantasy12. @wilder-w. AND YES, REUBEN&HOPE FOREVER!!!! 😀
Wolfgang
The class quickly passed.
It was fine…but Wolfgang couldn’t wait until Science and English!
He waited for Luna right outside the door, and as the young boy, Paxton, walked out, he turned to him with a smile. “Hey! You can join Luna and us, if you want!”
“You can too!” Luna added, turning to the fox boy.
Leon
“Well…that Science class was a little rough.” Abelard mused.
“Oh, come on, Abe, it wasn’t that bad.” Leon replied with a smirk, nudging his friend, playfully, in the side.
Abelard gave him a small scowl, but then he laughed. “Alright…fine…so it wasn’t terrible.”
“There you go! Be optimistic!”
“Ezra, you have a problem.” Abelard replied with a roll of his eyes.
Leon smiled.
The three of them were still together, along with Ezra’s girlfriend Eva, but Jayden had gone to his own class.
“Ezra…we have to be honest…you are a little…well…odd.” Eva teased with a wink.
Ezra laughed again. “Makes me special.”
“Oh, you’re special all right.” Abelard replied with a roll of his eyes. “But seriously, you do need to be careful. They’ll be looking for you.”
“Who will be looking for him? Why will they be looking for him?” Eva asked, glancing at Ezra.
“Bullies that tried to beat me up, that’s who. They were messing with a little boy, their brother.” Leon replied.
“Who would bully their own brother? What jerks.” Eva muttered. “And Ezra took care of them…?”
“Kicked one of them bullies in the rib.” Ezra replied.
Eva slowly nodded. “Probably not the best way to handle it…but you do what you must to protect people.”
Leon nodded in agreement, and then looked up ahead. A blonde girl and dark-haired boy were coming their way.
Leo
Leo leaned back against his locker, phone out. He’d taken a picture of his class schedule with it so he wouldn’t have to worry about losing a piece of paper.
History was next.
Not too bad.
But if his last year had taught him anything, it was that he wasn’t too good at any of his subjects.
But he’d kept it a secret from his family just long enough for him to pass 11th grade.
But he’d barely made it.
Footsteps sounded. “Hey, Leo…what are you up to?” Leo looked up to face Dietrich and one of his bully friends.
“Looking at my class schedule and getting my books, why?”
Dietrich’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Leo’s phone. “You’re not supposed to have your phone out at school…”
“During breaks I can.” Leo argued. “Besides, I’m only looking at this for my class schedule.”
Dietrich smirked, and without a word took Leo’s phone. “Well, too bad. School rules. No having out your phone.”
“Dietrich, give it back.”
Dietrich laughed. “How about no? You’re breaking the rules, Leo. Get a paper schedule.”
“I’ll have to go upstairs to get one. Then I’ll be late to my next class.”
Dietrich laughed and slipped Leo’s phone into his pocket. “Tough luck, Leo.”
Voices sounded, and Leo turned. A boy was being bullied.
“Hey! Leave him alone!”
Jayden
He was surrounded.
Jayden’s breath heaved.
Tears coursed down his cheeks as he rocked himself back and forth.
He would be hurt.
He would.
He would.
He did something wrong.
He did.
He did.
“Come on, nerd! Aren’t you gonna defend yourself?” One of the bullies taunted.
Another one laughed. “Oh, look, Jayden’s crying! He’s a baby!”
Jayden rocked himself even more, waiting for the blows that were sure to come.
“Hey! Leave him alone!” Heavy footsteps sounded, and Jayden trembled.
They…they sounded almost like his mother’s…just not…heels.
More tears coursed down his cheeks, as a boy shoved one of the bullies away. “Leave. Him. Alone.”
“And why should I!?” The bully asked, shoving the boy aside.
The boy gave him a glare. “Because there’s no reason to be a jerk, that’s why. What did he ever do to you!?”
Suddenly, the boy walked over, and Jayden put his arms over his head. “Don’t…don’t hit me…”
The boy’s brown eyes were soft. “No…no…I won’t hurt you…I’m here to help you…”
(AND…back to Leo. xD)
Leo
The boy still trembled and covered his head.
Just like Reuben…and Wolfgang.
“I’m here to help…I won’t hurt you…I promise. I swear on my life.”
The boy slowly looked up at him.
“I’m Leo…what’s your name?”
“…J-J-Jayden.” The boy whispered, finally uncovering his head.
Leo smiled, just as his arm was grabbed and he was pulled away. “Hey, don’t get in our way!” One of the bullies yelled.
Leo had to get free.
He had to protect Jayden…he just had to.
And suddenly, one of the other bullies went for Jayden, hand raised.
“NO!” Leo screamed, as he broke free of the one bully’s grasp and ran at the other one.
He hit the other one, hard, in the stomach, and the boy fell over with a gasp.
Leo wrapped his arms around Jayden. “Come on, Jayden…you need to get out of here…”
Suddenly, the bullies moved out of the way, except for the one still on the floor holding his stomach, and four figures stood over him and Jayden.
Dietrich. Adolphus. And…two of the headmistress’ sons…Edric and Aramis.
Leo’s arms wrapped tighter around Jayden, the same way he had protected his brothers so many times.

@wilder-w. HOPE!!!! *sobs* Her and Reuben are so similar! xD
Reuben
Hope had trailed off.
“Hope…Hope…are you okay…?” He touched her arm, softly, and she flinched and pulled away.
Reuben smiled faintly. “Hey…it’s…it’s okay…are you…alright?”
Hope slowly nodded. “Yeah…I…I’m…fine.”
@freedomwriter76 AHH JAYDEN 😭 @wilder-w
Edrich
“Well, hello Leo. Exactly what do you think you’re doing, hitting one of my boys? Hm?” Edrich growled, as the boy on the floor was slowly helped up by the others who had backed away.
Leo was clutching a younger kid with glasses. Aramis let out a chuckle, probably at the sight of the boy’s blubbering tears.
“Your boys were messing around. Maybe you should keep a closer eye on them.”
Edrich’s eyes narrowed, fists clenching. He glanced at the blonde boy, “They can do what they want. I suggest you learn to keep out of their way, Jayden was it?”
The blonde whimpered. Aramis laughed again.
“As for you…” Edrich looked at Leo. “You best be careful. Wouldn’t want any trouble during your last year…” He smirked.
Aramis stepped forward, flashing a glance at Dietrich and Adolphus before leaning in whispering where they couldn’t hear, “Our mother’s headmistress…you think we don’t know?”
(they know he’s failing! AH!)
“Now, run along. Before you’re late. I doubt that would help matters much,” Edrich smiled.
Paxton
“Hey! You can join Luna and us, if you want!” Wolfgang excitedly bounded over to Paxton, smiling.
Luna grinned, “You can too!” She said to the fox-boy who glanced at her with a raised brow.
“Can’t. Sister’s coming for me.” Fox-boy crossed his arms.
“Well we can wait!” Luna smiled. Fox boy pursed his lips, sighing. “I’m Luna by the way, and this is-“
“I heard.” He pointed to his ears. “Name’s Nyx.”
“Nice to meet you!” Wolfgang smiled. He turned back to Paxton. “What about you? Would you like to stay with us?”
Paxton hugged himself, frowning. He looked away, fingers playing with the strap of his backpack.
He did want to stay…but…
His brothers would be coming for him…
He didn’t answer.
Nyx crossed his arms, “Can you even talk?”
Paxton blinked, then slowly nodded. He could talk. But it always got him into trouble….
Best to keep quiet….
“Paxton.”
Paxton stiffened, limbs going rigid as he turned to face one of his brothers. His shoulders relaxed slightly at the sight of the dark-haired figure before him.
Soren…
The third brother…closest in age to him…and…
The only one who treated him at least a bit decently….
Soren’s face was fairly void of emotion as he looked at Paxton. He had one hand in his pocket, the other on his backpack strap.
“I’m here to take you to the next class.”
“It’s not even time for class yet,” Nyx scowled.
Soren glanced at him with a raised brow. Then looked back at Paxton. “Friends?”
Paxton shifted uncomfortably.
Were…were they friends?
And…if so, what did he say? Would Soren have to tell Edrich and Aramis? Or Mother?
“Yup!” Luna answered for him, bounding forward. She extended her hand. “I’m Luna.”
Soren stared at her hand. Then, slowly took it. “Soren.”
Paxton swallowed, watching Soren’s face for any sign of what might come. His brother looked at him.
Though it was barely visible to anyone else, Paxton could see the hint of softness in his eyes, and he relaxed some of the tension in his shoulders.
His brother came forward, gently gripping his shoulder. A much different touch then that of Aramis and Edrich. “I won’t tell.” He whispered.
Paxton felt a small smile tug at the corner of his lips and he looked up at Soren, a thank you in his blue eyes. Soren gave a hidden smile back.
“You can stay. But make sure you get to class on time.” He warned the last part, and Paxton nodded so hard his head hurt.
Soren gently patted Paxton’s shoulder, and then, walked off, leaving the foursome.
“Looks like you’re with us now!” Luna grinned. Paxton couldn’t help but smile back.
Jocelyn
“The math class is right up ahead,” Jocelyn said, dragging Grimm along.
“Are you going to pick up your brother after every class? We have maps you know.”
“You said yourself he gets into trouble!”
“And you said he wouldn’t.”
“Yea…well…” Lyn shrugged, “Even I know that’s asking a bit too much of my brother. Even on the first day,” she laughed.
“By the way…I haven’t seen November or Ara anywhere! Have you?” Lyn said.
“We haven’t exactly had a chance to look around…”
“Still. I bet their both in their classes daydreaming about each other. Honestly…I wish we could get those two together already!”
“Lyyyn.”
“They’re sooo cute! Come on, Grimmy!” She laughed, gripping his arm tighter and pulling him, making him stumble.
“Oops.” Lyn placed a hand over her mouth as Grimm lay on the ground, overtop of another young man with dark hair. He looked up at Lyn with an incredulous look. “Heh. Sorry.”
Grimm sighed, getting up. He stretched out a hand. “I apologize, I lost my footing.”
“It was my fault,” Jocelyn waved. “Oh, here, let me get that for you.” She reached down and grabbed the young man’s items, handing them back to him.
